will have a discount of US$ 100.00 off the registration fee above
indicated. This discount applies just to the registration fee. To
qualify for the discounted fee, students must provide, right at the
moment of registering, their student ID card number, and then send,
via fax or postal mail, an official certification issued by their
university or institution verifying they are full-time students and
a copy of their valid Student ID card, both of them are required.
Full-time students that register at the conference must have both
forms of verification with them when they arrive at the registration
desk.

Each registration fee entitles the
presentation and/or publication of one paper of up to 6 pages. The
registered author may include at the most one additional paper (of
up to 6 pages) at an extra charge of US$ 300.00. Both papers must
be authored and presented by the registered author. The second-paper fee is not a registration fee.

Please be advised that, if the registration
fee payment is received after June 6th, 2017, or if it is made
at the registration desk, the paper will not be included in the Proceedings
that will be distributed during the conference, but in the post-conference
volume of the Proceedings and in the post-conference edition of the
CD version of the Proceedings. In this last case, the registered author
should pay the respective shipping and handling costs in order to
get them.

There is a limit of 6 pages for each
paper in the Proceedings. At most 2 additional pages can be included,
as long as the registered author pays the fee of US$ 75.00 per extra
page.

If two or more authors of the same
paper attend the conference, each of them must register and pay his/her
respective registration fee in full. Extra page fee would be paid
once for each paper.

version of the Conference Proceedings (if you are an author, you
will receive the volume in which your paper was published)

which, in no case, will be more than four (4) months counted from
the last day of the conference.

Authors should be advised that, if their registration fee payment is
received after June 6th, 2017, or if it is made at the registration

registered. It may be faxed to +1 (407) 217-2878 or it may be brought on

we cannot securely receive the signature or other authentication
information through e-mail, we cannot accept transfer of registrations
via e-mail.

of on-site registration. Attendees
will be required to present

We will make no exception on this issue.
